Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form Britis h Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They are high in vitamin A.C. They have a pleasant taste.D. They are rich in antioxidants.2. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.3. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A container.D. A machine.4. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.【文章大意】本文是一篇日常生活类说明文。

Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house. ＂It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,＂ she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.＂My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,＂ Natalie says, ＂but I can always choose how I deal with it.＂Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page, matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ＂I can’t imagin e living anywhere but Rockaway,＂ Natalie declares. ＂My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.＂4.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found .A. some friends had lost their livesB. her neighborhood was destroyedC. her school had moved to BrooklynD. the elderly were free from suffering5.According to Paragraph 4, who inspired Natalie most?A.

Little people can make a big difference.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. East or west, home is best.D. Technology is power.CShe Walked Through FireOn Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage to fix his truck.Around 8 pm, Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack(千斤顶). The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders.Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to lift it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, ＂You got it! One more try!＂ She tried again and was ableto tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck.She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. ＂I was afraid the car was going to explode,＂ says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal(油门). The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete.zx*xkSafely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. ＂There’s a fire! Everybody get out!＂ she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose(水管) and sprayed the fire while calling 911.A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived.The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebuilt. ＂Charlotte is a remarkable kid,＂ says her dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, ＂I wa s saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.＂8.Eric got trapped because _____.A. the kitchen was on fireB. the wheel fell off the truckC. the front tyre was removedD. the truck slipped off the jack9.Which of the following is the correct order of the events?a. Charlotte called the firefighters.b. Charlotte saved Eric from under the truck.c. Charlotte drove the truck out of the garage.d. Charlotte warned the family to leave the house.A. b, c, a, dB. a, b, d, cC. a, c, b, dD. b, c, d, a10.As a result of the fire, _____.A. the truck explodedB. the house was not fit to live inC. the three-month-old baby was injuredD. Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulders11.It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte is _____.A. proud and clear-headedB. modest and easy-goingC. calm and quick-mindedD. independent and self-centeredDIf you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock. According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years. The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die. The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour. The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers. The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time，this can cause serious injuries.Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，＂If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy. Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.＂The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than ＂iron man＂ events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling. According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，＂You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health. And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much＂.12.The underlined word ＂strenuous＂ in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to＂___________＂.A. hardB. regularC. practicalD. flexible13.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.A. suggest giving up joggingB. show risks of doing sportsC. provide supportive evidenceD. introduce the research process14.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful？A. It may injure the heart and arteries.B. It can make the body tired out.C. It will bring much pressure.D. It consumes too much energy.15.What can be inferred from the text?A. No exercise at all is the best choice.B. More exercise means a healthier life.C. Marathons runners are least likely to die.D. Proper exercise contributes to good health.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解AA trip to LondonMy family had dreamed of a trip to London for a long time.Luckily it was possible for us to realize our dream because all of us were free on the weekend.We planned to drive into Cambridge and caught the 7: 34 train to Liverpool Street Station.Then my wife and I would separate from Joan,my wife’s sister,to do different things and finally meet again for lunch.And after lunch,we would go to the concert.But we were late because of a thick London fog.The train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there.In spite of our late arrival,Joan decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping.It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch.Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket,this was indeed a problem.We didn’t have any mobile phones at that time.There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London,and trying to find her there.Needless to say,we didn’t find her.It was now one o’clock,and the concert began at 2:30.“Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” said my wife hopefully.By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop,and the only way to get there was by subway.Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be.An hour later we were still trying to find it.Just when I was about to become angry,we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog.With his help we found the subway station which was just fifty meters down the road.By now it was far too late to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30,so we decided to return to Cambridge.It took seven hours instead of the usual two to make that journey.Nor were we able to get any food or drink on the train.We were tired and hungry.We finally reached home at ten.Opening the door we were amazed to find Joan at home; she had seen the Crown Jewels,had managed to get another ticket for the concert,and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant.Of course,she managed to get home,too.Oh,my god!1.What did the writer plan to do after lunch that day?A.Go to the concert.B.Return to Cambridge.C.Go shopping.D.See the Crown Jewels.2.The writer and his wife separated from Joan because .A.they were late for the concertB.Joan didn’t want to go to the concertC.there was a thick fogD.they planned to do different things until lunchtime3.Who helped the writer find the subway station?A.A taxi driver.B.A blind man.C.His wife.D.Joan.4.The writer and his wife felt on the train back home.A.quite interestedB.rather disappointedC.tired and hungryD.very enjoyable语篇解读:本文讲述作者一家周末去伦敦的旅行。

What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music?But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(实体店)canoffer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scentis just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.1. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?A.Friendly assistant.B.Unique scents.C.Soft background musicD.Attractive window display.2. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .A. show the advantages of brick-and-mortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of e-commerce3. Which statement would the writer agree with?A.Put different shop on the products on display.B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume.C.Place fragrant flowers in the shopD.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop.4. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .A. compare and evaluateB. examine and assessC. inform and explainD. argue and discuss【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 3 A taste of English humourⅠ.阅读理解(2017·厦门质检)导学号 42492401A culture's values can be mirrored by its humor.Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes，who disliked humor，“Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory ari sing from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, Ph.D of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing r ather than serious.” I agree with Gordon.Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs.Without humor as a way to express their feelings，how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming？Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture.They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplaneing politics into our mouths.They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor.Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition.American pop culture promotes an unhealthy selfimage.On the topic of selfimage, Hari Kondabolu stands out.He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”，describing their hit song“Dont Cha”as a negative representation of women.He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner.Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes.Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism，but，like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times，all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles(皱纹)to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.文章大意：一种文化的价值能通过其幽默感表现出来。

Unit 3 A taste of English humour李仕才一、阅读理解US music legend Bob Dylan won the Nobel Literature Prize on October 13,2016, the first songwriter to win the well-known award in a decision that stunned prize watchers.Dylan,75, was honored “for having cr eated new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”, the Swedish Academy said.The choice was met by gasps (倒吸气)and a long round of applause from journalists attending the prize announcement.

小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学 Unit 3 A taste of English humour 李仕才一、阅读理解

With autumn on the horizon, the season’s first Oscar competitors are here.

Already, the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either. Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004’s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed: “I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you’re not supposed to say ‘lose’ when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say ‘not chosen’. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn’t seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didn’t happen, I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny.’ But to get prizes is not why you work.” Murray isn’t alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.” Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: 小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学 Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have proved that countless times before. 1.We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_________. A. he felt ashamed that he didn’t win the Oscar. B. he never expected himself to win the Oscar. C. he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar. D. he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed. 2.Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because _________ A. he wants to win the Oscar. B. he can cooperate with great people. C. he wants others to take pride in him. D. he is not the only actor who hasn’t won the Oscar. 3.The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to “_________”. A. Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar. B. Winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point. C. Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar. D. You think that some actors should have won an Oscar. 4.What is the writer’s attitude to Leonardo’s idea on winning an Oscar? A. Approving. B. Critical C. Indifferent. D. Neutral. 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了落选奥斯卡奖的比尔默里和莱昂纳多对奥斯卡奖的看法。 1.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation.”可知，在落选奥斯卡之前，比尔默里已经赢得了很多其他奖项。

3.B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.”可知，此处的that指代的就是winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point。小学+初中+高中+努力=大学小学+初中+高中+努力=大学 4.A 【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.”可知，作者对莱昂纳多关于赢得奥斯卡的态度是支持的。
